I wonder how many people would rate a visit to Disneyland as a crap vacation, based solely on getting scammed by the Spaghetti Junction restaurant? This place gets my all-time high vote for swindle. Service is slow (it's next door to several large hotels just north of the Toontown edge of the park), so everyone sits and waits for a table in a large anteroom decorated with "wild west" memorabilia. At standard mealtimes, it's not unusual to wait for nearly an hour. Then you finally get seated and enjoy your mediocre pasta offering and grade-C dessert. When the bill comes, you notice an $18 charge for "entertainment". You ask the waiter, <i>What is this entertainment?</i> "It's the charge for the 'museum'." Yes, they actually have the gall to add a surcharge for the decorations on the wall in the waiting area! ]]> 378720@blogcritics.org Tue, 30 May 2006 11:28:25 EDT
